Talk:Breeding of strawberries

Peer Review Edits
I’m fairly certain it is a good idea to italicize taxonomic classifications such as “Fragaria Vesca, F. Viridis and F. Moschata”; May want to change “is” in “In 1714 Fragaria Chileonsis, a plant that produces large fruit that is particularly good for eating” to “WAS particularly good for eating,” just to stay in the same tense; Antoine Nicolas Duchesne’s subheading is a link, not a title…not sure if you meant to do this; “He was discovered that strawberries can be either bisexual or unisexual” should be changed to “He had…” or something along those lines; change “Michael Keens was far less methodical that Knight,” to “…than Knight”; Works cited is not numbered except for first two sources.

Incorrect Statements
The section on molecular breeding is woefully uninformed. There are slivers of truth - "Molecular breeding allows plant breeders to locate specific traits from any strawberry species" - but the technology of molecular breeding doesn't DO anything. It's just used to identify which plants contain what genetic information. A good gross oversimplification would be that molecular breeding is like using a search engine genetically. The search engine won't write your paper for you, but it will help you find what you're looking for.

Also, the example on strawberries with the fish gene inserted is misleading. This experiment was never commercialized.

If I get bored I might get delete happy on some of this article and reword what's left.184.97.219.57 (talk) 05:27, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Unclear
This is unclear: "Strawberries have many different chromosome numbers. While these are four of the most common numbers of chromosome pairs some strawberries can have as many as 16.[1]"Pollifax (talk) 03:23, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
